“This year, I had to make the choice between either putting food on the table or giving my three children an education. I had to choose food. I cannot even afford the price of stationery. It was hard for me to explain this to my kids. They cry and beg daily to go to school but I simply can’t afford it” Marie; Mother of 3

 “I am a heart patient and take numerous medications for my ailment. I worked at an Aluminum factory but I got laid off last year when the factory shut its door. On a monthly basis, I have to decide on what our priority is; my personal health, rent, schooling for my three children or putting food on the table…  I now gather Aluminum from garbage dumps and sell them for a living and my three kids deliver merchandise at small local shops in exchange for tips to assist me… At the end of the month, all we can afford is rent, some bread and other basic food necessities”. Jamil, father of 3

Working for a Lebanon Where Every Child Can Grow, Learn and Lead.

Years of political turmoil, hyperinflation, skyrocketing poverty & unemployment rates and a COVID pandemic have left the Lebanese educational system on the brink of a total collapse, threatening in its way the future of the country’s future. After two years of being stuck at home, many children headed back to class and reunited with their friends this fall. But not every child was so lucky. 

Parents nowadays can barely afford to buy basic food staples for their kids.

Dropout and illiteracy rates are on the increase mainly because people cannot afford to send or keep their kids in schools. Most of these children may never return. With each day that passes, more of them go hungry and become vulnerable to lack of education, early marriage, and violence. Many are forced into child labor as low wage laborers.

We’re facing the biggest Lebanese education emergency of our lifetime

S.O.S is a social empowerment program aiming at putting a halt to the fast deterioration of the Lebanese educational sector.

The program will focus on reversing skyrocketing illiteracy and dropout rates among students. It also aims to reverse the decrease in student retention rates at schools.

 For just USD 250 you can help keep a child  in school for a  year

The Program will be implemented on the ground by long standing Lebanese NGOs with proven track records. The Society of St Vincent de Paul and Ajialouna in Lebanon in collaboration with LEAP for Lebanon out of the US. 

For decades, both NGOs have put education, “youth/girls/women’s empowerment” and “gender equality” at the forefront of their missions. 

All funds raised will be directed paid to the schools according to the approved list of students vetted by the Education committee.
